Description

Chinese people are famous of being business savvy but what’s the secret?

Are you thinking of working with Chinese people but don’t know where to start?

In this lecture, we will talk about:

1. How do Chinese people think about business?

Our concept of money, our long tradition of enterpreneurship mind set in our culture, financial training we give our children since they were little, how all of these affect the way we do business.

2. Company structure

The boss is seen as the ‘father/mother’ of the company. We have very strong hierarchy when we deal with business. I will help you to understand how to handle meetings. Why do the employees not ask any questions during the meeting and send you 15 questions the next day, sometimes the same evening!

3. How to build business relationship with Chinese people?

Our business relationship doesn't always start at a meeting. Often, it starts in the restaurant. We share a meal with someone and our relationship build up that way. The art of gifting, how to handle your business card in a correct manner, how to arrange the restaurant booking, how to send the invitation in a proper way and down to the seating plan is all extremely important. Doing one thing that is taboo in our culture, we will remember forever that you were rude on the first time we met.

4. How to stand out and get priority consideration when you are competing with other companies?

The chance is you won’t be the only European company contacting them but you can be the only European company they will remember! This lecture will make sure of that!

5. Q&A!

You might have a question about Chinese people and Chinese culture that you want to ask for a long time but don't know who to ask, I am here to answer any question. There is no stupid question, just ask!
